Trans-Dniester is currently a part of Moldova with an overwhelming majority of ethnic Russians . Trans-Dniester has asked the Russian govt to investigate the possibility of joining back with Russia with the view of terminating ties with Moldova. Already Trans-Dniester has its own currency and border guard and tensions always run high with Moldova. May this very well be next on the Russian hitlist? Putin imperialist expansion could move quicker than the west thinks.

Maybe Russia may annex the South and East of Ukraine now? Ethnic Russians feel under threat from a Ukranian government that has had its territory annexed. Would Putin use this as an excuse to invade under the pretext of protecthing ethnic Russians?

Kazakhstan is locked into a customs union with Russia, maybe Russia is eyeing them up?
